About this Unfair & Unbalanced Oakland Raiders Blog
“3,000 miles just to get laid… I really respect that.”
People respect honesty and passion, learned young Walter (Gib) Gibson. So, consider this our Oakland Raiders “Why Lie, I want A Beer” sign.
Raidergirls comes clean
This blog makes ZERO claims to be reporters, journalists, or even mildly amusing; we’re simply lifelong diehard Raider fans sharing the random Oakland Raiders shit we stumble upon in daily Oakland Raiders News searches. Yes every friggin’ day 24/7/365… it borderlines on sporting lunacy, yet much like a Raiders girl in white cotton booty shorts under a tight Raiders jersey, it is quite comforting. Need to waste yet another shitty hour at Initech? Step on over to raidergirls oakland raiders blog to find random tidbits foraged from Raiders.com and NFL websites. Raiders pictures, Raiders news, and Raiders videos, if it’s something not covered by mainstream media already, we’ll post it.
As an added penalty bonus, theres our Raiders Blog filled with pointless commentary and esoteric references that one would only understand if they grew up with the Herald Examiner and “totally remember” Kenny Shedd. Bad grammar, creative spelling and lots of dots x3… out of respect for the talented mr. Malamud and a greater era of sportswriting. Raiders tailgating shindigs, random Raiders gear, unique Raiders shit, etc… really we don’t give a crap what it is, as long as it relates to the Oakland Raiders or sports, and is somewhat off the beaten path.
If fellow denizens of Raider Nation (even Donkey Nation or Chef Nation) glean a few morsels of Raiders related random crap here every so often, peachy. We’d have said Dolt Nation too, but you gotta’ win something first and then maybe someone will bestow a silly “nation” namesake upon you as well. How stupid would Seahawk (Seahag) Nation have sounded in the old AFC West anyway?
Sportswriting rant: We firmly believe that “journalistic objectivity” in sportswriting is utter bullshit. Our commentary will absolutely reflect a genuine disdain and sometimes passionate hatred of the Donkeys and Chiefs. A diehard Broncos or Chiefs fan ought to hate the Raiders too.
Talented yet hamstrung… Woody Paige and Jason Whitlocks drivel would be a thousand times more interesting if they simply came out and admitted “Hell yes I’m a Donkey/Chef fan, and my column shall reflect that.” Their softplay towards the politically correct center of “non-bias” reeks of antiquated and forced mediocrity, much like artificial turf and the putrid sterility of football in a dome.

If your sporting journey leads you to seek mainstream fare whitewashed for the masses… then go to Applebees and sit down at the bar for a shitty burger and to watch things swirl and scroll in 400 flavors of orange and red from Sportscenters nauseating “The Matrix meets Fear and Loathing” laser light show set. May Stuart Scott “boo-yah” you to sleep while you pretend that the boys from Bristol don’t fellate themselves over every chunk of corn found in Manny Ramirez’s bowel movements.
This site exists simply to give Oakland Raiders fans the straight dope, your comments and suggestions are always welcomed. As is your dope.

Thank you for saying what you feel about things (like the Raiders) instead of this mainstream crap that suits the lowest common fan. Some of us WANT authentic commentary yet todays sportswriter dish out crap with no emotion or life to it. Thanks for the “juice.”

What a great read on whats become of the great old school of sportswriters, cigar munching Oscar Madisons of the world with flair character and moxy. They were respected and feared at once.
Today its like a bunch of shock jocks with laptops and a desire to create controversy over every stupid utterance from T.O or Randy Moss.
What a crying shame, I miss you Oscar.

Stoopid, but I enjoyed your take on the Raidahs… even as a charger fan. lights out
Best read of the day for California Raiders living, Nor-California sportswritings void of talent, and whats wrong with Male bone-headed “hoorah” puffed up jokers who work for newspapers around here.
Best review of sportswriting I’ve read. I hate todays hacks, all hype and no analysis or experts. Just a bunch of “me too” shock value hacks in my papers. Online is where you can find the nuggets of reality, your site included, thanks!
Unfair and unbalanced, that seems about right. Too much parity and same ol in this world, thanks for the break!
l quite agree with your Raiders conclusions. However l am having problems believeing this isn’t a 10 win team in 2010.
The new Tommy Kelly is heading to the Pro Bowl.

Great oscar Madison inclusion Raidergirls! God damn if I don’t miss that man in this era of pompous ESPN talking head douchebags. Even though he just “played a sportswriter on TV” I miss him dearly.
Old school hacks used to breathe fire and chomp stogies on the sidelines, they weren’t afraid to ask tough questions, and they were not simply a PRETTY FUCKING face. Oscar had a face for radio, and a gift for breaking sports down into what actually mattered (read “drama free”).
Today the drama is manufactured off-the-field by the ESPN hype machine and its ilk, and the REAL on-field drama between the lines has been forgotten. God luck on this site, I’ll keep reading!

Classic. The Raiders and sex go hand in hand, pun intended.
Seriously though, out here in the San Fernando Valley there is a sort of undeground band of Raiders fans in the Adult entertainment business. Don’t know if it’s holdover fans from the Raiders Los Angeles days, or just that the Raiders rebellious chord plays well here amongst the naked folks.
Don’t be surprised the next time you see a porn star in a Raiders jersey (some of their “after” action ouftits are awesome) or catch a familiar face at the Coliseum. The Raiders own this area, and definitely are the team of choice for the adult entertainment industry.

Somehow I knew that. I’m sure its not because I’ve seen the guy in the Charles Woodson jersey schtoinking two coeds, one in a torn just below the nipple Timmy Brown #81. Yeah, that’s definitely not it. Even if the brunette in it was gorgeous (image of mesh #81 covering perky boobs half-covered in her dark hair) despite her irritating Monica Seles grunts.
Never woulda guessed PornoRaider ;-P
I just found out that Abrams and Perry Capital are partners with one of the Boston Red Sox owners and a man who is part of a company called Baupost Group. The three hedge fund managers who put 20% into the Raiders are just middlemen for this man.
I knew there were too many strange things going on with the Raiders for it to be just a dysfunctional team which is probably not even really true. These guys bought more than $150 million of the Raiders to give their friend say in how the team operates. This lets me know why so many strange things were happening like the Raiders always trading high draft picks to New England when it didn’t make much sense, Al changing Raiders Inc. into a California LLC/ LC.
Even the Seymore trade were Oakland should have offered a no. 2 like every other NFL club that offered a 2 or 3 for him. They get older players with huge salaries from the Patriots that might have been traded for less if not released. That looks like a racket of building up one team and not doing much for the other. The only way this could be happening if somebody has some say in what is happening in Oakland. Al isn’t going to do that for no reason. Seth Klarman is the man I believe is behind this and he is the real owner of that 20% and the three friends of his just put his money up for him.
I hope you will look into this. Perry, Abrams and the Baupost group are all partners and Mr. Klarman used to help these guys and was a business partner with them. I’m asking sports writers and fins to help me find out what going on.
